Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

It’s time for a little confession. I realize this may get me shunned (especially in my hometown of Pittsburgh!), but….I don’t like football. I don’t like to watch it, I never liked playing football with my friends, I don’t even like playing catch with a football. If there was one thing Mike could change about me, I’m pretty sure this would be it. That being said, I will watch the Superbowl. I like the party atmosphere, I like that the Steelers are playing, but most of all, I like the food. Food like this delightful chocolate chip cookie dough dip you see here.
I saw this recipe on Jessica’s blog and made it the very next day. When it comes to chocolate chip cookie dough dip, I don’t waste any time. This stuff is awesome and really does tastes like cookie dough! I served it with animal crackers, but I think graham crackers would be a good choice as well. Or you could just eat it with a spoon, I won’t tell. Although if you serve it at your Superbowl party, a spoon might not be the best option.
